This subject aims to acquaint students with case and statute law relevant to the protection of civil liberties in Australia. It explores the relationship and dynamic between the individual and the State in a legal and political framework. It examines the institutions (at a Commonwealth and State level) and organisations established to protect civil liberties and legal issues associated with their operation.

Students become acquainted with current legal issues in the protection of civil liberties in Australia and research issues using Australian and comparative legal material and non-legal materials.
